The integrated and environmentally friendly duo of Greenspeed and Ecover Professional at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN

In 1994, Greenspeed was the first player in the Benelux to introduce microfibre technology as an effective solution in the professional cleaning industry. At the beginning of this year, Greenspeed took a major step forwards with the acquisition of Ecover Professional, a pioneer in the development of efficient and environmentally friendly washing and cleaning agents. We will proudly showcase the new and integrated Greenspeed at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN in Amsterdam at stand 1.106.

On 1 January 2016, Greenspeed acquired the B2B division of detergent and cleaning agent manufacturer Ecover.
